About this home
A once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a custom, gut-renovated Victorian masterpiece set on approximately .3 acres of lush grounds, 1.5 blocks from the beach. Originally owned by the Townley family, a prominent name in colonial New Jersey, this historic residence served as their beach cottage during Long Branch's golden era, seamlessly blending rich heritage with modern luxury.
Thoughtfully reimagined by Tweak Interiors and Parallel Architects, the home showcases elevated craftsmanship, premium materials, and a rare balance of timeless architecture and contemporary design. Offering approximately 5,000 square feet of refined coastal living, plus a partially finished basement beyond that footprint, the residence features 8 bedrooms, 6 full and 2 half baths on an oversized, hard-to-find lot.
Designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living, every detail has been carefully curated to deliver a sophisticated yet relaxed lifestyle -- where historic charm meets uncompromising quality, just moments from the ocean.
Experience the ultimate in coastal luxury, just 1.5 blocks from the sand, with expansive living spaces designed for both elevated entertaining and everyday comfort.
The location is built for the weekender and full-time resident alike. Direct NJ Transit rail service on the North Jersey Coast Line connects Long Branch to Manhattan, and a short drive reaches the Seastreak ferry for a fast catamaran ride across the bay to New York City. Steps away, Pier Village offers beachfront boutiques, acclaimed restaurants, and oceanfront promenades, putting the best of the Jersey Shore right outside the door.
